About Previously Learnt : Life Lessons From Notable People

We were faced with this question following the loss of close family.
Life doesn't come with a manual.
In a nutshell, the premise of the podcast is borrowing the life experiences of some notable people from various fields so that our children can learn from them in the future.
Each episode features a conversation with someone who has achieved big things in their own chose field.

Lessons From A Lion - Matt Perry, former Bath, England and Lions Rugby Player
With the Lions Rugby Test Series about to kick off, it was awesome to sit down and speak with former Bath, England and Lions player, Matt Perry.
This was a fantastic chat with Matt, who is founder of Transition15, a company which accelerates high performance team dynamics, as he shared his lessons and insights drawing on sport, business and life.
We spoke of many things, including :
What meeting principle did Sir Clive Woodward teach
Coaching, and what makes a good coach
Attitude, commitment and getting outside of your comfort zone
The importance of luck
Dealing with pressure
Of course, it was a great opportunity to talk Lions, including thoughts on who will make the Test team, and series predictions. It was also brilliant to hear Matt's experiences as a Lion, and how he found out he was a Lion and what was it like to play in the same side as Jason Robinson
